Nintendo Wii Hardware Sales Do Matter!

For core gaming, the original Wii was a definite sales improvement in hardware and software over the Gamecube. Prove me wrong. There are other core games that I didn't show in this video that sold over 1 million on Wii also, but this video I think paints a good picture. How many times have you heard that Wii hardware sales simply don't count and the entire system should be discounted as a fluke? Put simply, core games sold far better on Wii than on Gamecube. Mario Kart Wii sold more games than the entire Gamecube install base by 14 million! This proves that even at worst if you minus 60 million from the Wii install base of 100 million and call them "casuals" about 40 million Wii owners were gamers selling 2x better than Gamecube﻿.
